A convent must assimilate or be condemned. Victory Hall Opera invites everyone to come see some of America’s foremost Deaf actors and opera singers to give a performance on the eve of UVA’s Fourth Disability Studies symposium. In this once-in-a-lifetime collaboration, singers and actors will push the boundaries of stagecraft in a radical reinterpretation of Poulenc’s powerful opera, "Dialogues of the Carmelites," explored through a Deaf lens.
Performed in English and ASL with English supertitles. Followed by a public Q & A session.
Free admission: Open to the general public.
